BluegrassNet offers many different types of E-mail Solutions. Here is an overview of our services:
If you are in need of a single e-mail box, you can obtain one at no charge if you are a BluegrassNet DSL or other type of residential user. If you are NOT a BluegrassNet access account, but still need a regular e-mail account, you can still get this service for a nominal monthly fee.
This type of account is accessible not only from a traditional e-mail reader such as Outlook, MacMail, or Entourage on a Mac laptop, but also from a web browser if you are needed access from the web. Pricing ranges from $2 ro $5 per month. Talk to one of our sales reps about details.
BluegrassNet offers bundles of domain based e-mail packages that include 10, 20, 50, even 100 or more POP accounts, multiple virtual domains, and different storage space options. Oftentimes, these e-mail packages include hosting for your website as well.
Typical monthly costs can range from $15 to $50 per month depending on the number of accounts and other options (that are listed below) that you decide you need. You definitely need to talk to one of the e-mail experts here to get the best bang for your buck.
BluegrassNet has a great reputation for delivering impeccable Hosted Exchange Services. We realize that it's not just about setting up an Exchange account, but also working with your staff to get everything up and running, such as remote access, secure access, a backup strategy, integration with your iPhones, Blackberries, and Androids. The issues will never stop coming, so make sure you go with a Hosted Exchange Provider that has people on the groud in your city to help deal with unforseen problems quickly and efficiently.
Hosted Exchange Accounts run between $10 and $13 per month depending on options selected. For more details on our Hosted Exchange Services please visit this link.
- Anti-Spam Services: We are authorized partners of Google/Postini anti-spam/anti-virus services. This is an effective way to keep the junk out of your e-mail box, lower the stress on your mail server, and protect you from malicious code that comes in via e-mail. We have individual and corporate packages that you can sign up for.
- Mail Bagging: If your e-mail server goes down, we have already automatically pointed your fail-over mail route to this server where we set up a "catch-all" for all your inbound e-mail. When you get your e-mail server back up and running, it connects to the mail bagging server, and downloads the mail at that point. Thereby preventing your inbound mail from bouncing back to the sender.
- Mail Archiving: Oftentimes keeping old e-mails around is not only smart, but REQUIRED in certain industries. BluegrassNet will work with you to build an archiving routine so that you can have your e-mail stored in multiple locations, on different servers, or help you figure out what is best for you. Our services range from renting space on our mail servers, to connecting our systems to yours in order for you to push a copy of your e-mail onto large storage servers in certified data centers for long term storage.
- Private E-mail Server: Sometimes you have no choice but to have your own e-mail server. This makes sense if you have large volumes of mail, specialty handling requirements, archiving and retrieval performance expectations, etc. Here are some different options on private e-mail servers that we work with.
- High-Availability / Large Volume Unix Mail Clusters: If you absolutely postively do not want to tolerate your mail server "going down", this is probably the best bet for you. Duel load-balancers, dual front-ends, dual data-base servers, all operating in a real-time copy over mode. We buid these systems quite a bit, and are very proud of our performance. We can build one of these for you too. We like to use Linux and components that work on Linux for this type of set up.
- Microsoft Exchange Servers: There are many BluegrassNet clients that want something that gives the other services besides just e-mail, such as calendaring, tasks, notes, contact databases, etc. that Exchange does so well. Barring specialty requirements, we believe that having your own Exchange server really makes sense starting at about 40+ users on the system. We can build these systems for your office, or to put in a data center somewhere.
- Low Cost Unix Mail Servers for E-mail Marketing or Bulk E-mailing: If you are in the mass e-mail business this is something you may need. Have you found that you get blacklisted occaisionally? Well, if that happens to your mail mail server you are down EVERYWHERE until the situation is resolved. By pushing off your mass email agent onto a seperate server you have saved yourself the hassle of taking the whole company e-mail down due to a misunderstanding by an outside network admin. We do not condone or allow "spamming" but do realize that large organizations do run into this problem if they are doing e-mail blasts to customers or large numbers of employees. Servers such as this start at approx. $300 per month.
- Anti-Virus/Security on Mail Systems (IPsec): We are actively involved in implementing programs such as MacAfee onto mail server systems, and are paying very close attention to the progression of IPSec as a security solution to some of the mail & network vulnerabilities that exist on the Internet. We work extensively on keeping mail systems secure and can help you if you need it.
All of these services are currently available through BluegrassNet. The best way to get "what you want" is to talk to one of our engineers regarding what the best set up is for you. We can be reached at 502-589-4638.
